I wouldn't overestimate the importance placed on the decision to put it on the web page - it's becoming rote, and sometimes people are just looking for stuff to fill space and add color to the page. Be thankful it isn't flowers or kittens.

This bothers me a lot. Not because I'm worried about some message, but because of the disrespect.

Sec. 8.
Unless, of course, you are looking to disrespect the flag. I'm okay with that. Intentionally making a statement by doing something to a flag is fine; it's the people who can't be bothered to wonder about what they are saying that irritate me.
